Open to middle school and high school ensembles, we are proud to invite up to twelve concert bands of distinction to present their own showcase performances, to receive clinic & adjudication, and to be our VIP guests at the UCF Wind Ensemble’s UCF Celebrates the Arts concert.
Each ensemble selected to participate in the invitational will enjoy the following:
- 30-minute performance in one of the world-class spaces in Orlando’s Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts
- Written & recording adjudication of their performance by a panel of nationally recognized authorities in instrumental music education
- 20-minute clinic with one of our clinician-educators
- VIP tickets and early admission to the Walt Disney Theater for the evening concert given by the UCF Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band
Clinicians
Our panel of clinicians is comprised of nationally recognized music educators whose goals are always to help guide ensembles to their greatest successes through pragmatic and practical methods.
